Regina is Proud 0f Women Drivers
REGINA. Oct. 20-(0?) —- Th0 ;orcily male who continually brags of his prowess behind the wheel had better pull in his horns, for the chances are the little woman. is a far more careful driver than her speeding spouse.
Regina police court records for the first _n_ine months of this year show that of 391 motorists arrested for speeding only one was a woman, and of the 1,500 summonses issued for variou: of- fences during that period women received only 19.
Biggest offence for women we! '
over-parklng--six violations- fol- lowed by sneaking through a. red light-five violations. Other offen- ces included obstructing traffic, failure to signal on turning, driv- ing without a licence and turning car in the middle of the block.
Chief Afagistrate W. B. Scott admitted that possibly a pair of sparkling blue eyes might havo some effect on an otherwise hard- boiled traffic cop, but added thui generally speaking women didn't enjoy speeding as much as men and were more law-abiding.
Chief Constable Duncan Dougali declined to comment.
Magistrate Scott. said that wo- men often appeared for their husbands in police court ori traffic charges-and usually were very meek and mild.
"But I know that under differ- ent circumstances," he said, "they would raise the roof.“
Approximately one-third of tho women charged this year were un- married, and only orie of them was a second offender.
